Orthodox Cross Removed from the Cover of “Weideglück” Product
By Manfred K. Böhm – OCP News Service – Germany – 13/10/17
Rüsselsheim / Germany: It was found that on the packaging of the product “Weideglück Sahne Joghurt nach griechischer Art “, produced by Weideglück – Milchwerke Schwaben , Germany, the crosses on the blue domes of the well-known Orthodox churches of Santorini were removed. The product is marketed in several European countries.
We wonder what reasons could have led to such a distortion of the original image:
* Is it no longer possible to present the Christian symbol of the cross publicly?
* The company wanted to avoid images of crosses, becuase certain customer groups may restrain from purchasing their product?
* Is it the advertising agency responsible for the product design with the distorted representation of the church crosses from Santorini?
Several customers are asking above questions. On a request we have not received a response from Weideglück – Milchwerke Schwaben- Germany.

It’s pitiful and pathetic. German feeling ashamed with the Cross. Commercial reasons behind the faith
